Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing Dealing with stress without medication

4 of 36

"Stress" is simply a word for being upset by circumstances - thinking and feeling in ways that feel less than happy, content, free and at ease. Therefore the solution is to think and feel differently.This is of course easier said than done, yet is by no means impossible for most anyone. Sometimes it takes the help of a great ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife Views of death

12 of 53

In my understanding there is no death as we think of it, only a changing of form. In almost every spiritual tradition, eternal life is promised. It certainly isn't the body that lives eternally, so it must be the spirit. Bodies change and return to the elements from which they are formed, yet our souls, our Spirit, lives on.M... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens when we die?

45 of 193

Glory! At least that is what I experienced at age 19. I came back to this life because the incredibly loving Presence which spoke to me said there were still things here I'd planned to do. My hand was on the door; the Light on the other side of it was so brilliant that it illuminated the huge hall I'd walked down; my heart wa... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections on Fantasy writing

5 of 19

Good fantasy writing gives tremendous inspiration. Great fantasy can actually change your life. Many experienced this with the Celestine Prophecy. My favorite authors are Sherri Tepper and Octavia Butler, both of whom build worlds and create characters which open the mind to new possibilities for human interaction. From their... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Determining if you're happy

5 of 17

Unlike Joy, happiness is usually a temporary feeling, an emotion like all the other emotions which come and go, depending on various circumstances within and outside of a person. A better question is are you joyful, in which case you can experience the full range of emotions and still feel in balance.Happiness is most often a... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing Getting over abuse through the use of self help books

1 of 3

Abuse is a broad topic. Self help books can be invaluable in learning new coping strategies, or even in understanding yourself and how you have been shaped by abuse in your life. Minor abuses can often be understood by reading about them, and the effects of them released simply by changing how we think and feel about particul... More..

Pets & Animals > Pet Ownership Do you prefer dogs or cats?

17 of 48

I like my dog; I love my cat - does that make it clear enough? Until recently I would have said I was a dog person, since I've usually had a big one. Yet I've always known I was different from those who let the rambunctious things jump all over them, or get on the furniture or God forbid, climb on the bed.I like that dogs bar... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Wanting to die and why

6 of 16

From age four to my mid-thirties, I was severely depressed. My first suicide attempt was at age 10. Many many times I did not know how to, nor even why I should make the effort, to keep living when it was such a painful journey. During a time of desperation and intense struggle, I reached out to someone who promised to "chann... More..

Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Is life worth living?

42 of 111

Life is worth living only if an individual decides it is so. Life itself is marvelous, and eternal - filled with unlimited wondrous moments. Yet, if an individual does not sense the loving in that, or in themselves, or any purpose in their living, then life feels worthless indeed.I spent years on that path and am grateful to ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Do we really know what it means to be saved

9 of 23

We can know that we are saved based on how we feel, on what we experience, yet empirical knowing isn't possible. Nor, in my opinion, is empirical knowledge necessary. Faith is a mighty strength and as psychologists, or doctors, or metaphysicians or even country preachers will tell you - what you believe is what matters most! ... More..
